O Lord of wisdom, glory, power, and might,
May we accept the beauty of your light,
And holy rise to face each dawn of day,
To speak your praise and walk in your blest way.

May we stand firm and ne're the tempter try,
As unto thee we raise our battle cry.
O Lord of wisdom, glory, power, and might,
May we accept the beauty of your light.

May we lift hearts and hands to glorify.
O Lord, to thee we raise our battle cry.

The Light

I walk in the light
as he is in the light.
I see the light
a-bright.

I spend the light
upon my soul.
I stand rejected
and then made whole.

I speak the light
thrust up within
to feathered fullness
bringing life.

Joy breaks forth
within my heart
to spend and thrust
and break apart
into a million pieces
to give away.

I stand and throw
this lust for life
and spend by tearing it apart
to give to those
whose hearts are strong.
It won't be long.

So stand and wait
and watch and pray
for only God
does know the way.
